mmm. 'Firescape Browser', 'Netscape 8 - Flaming Edition' lol

You know, that almost sounds...

...gay. :|

ANYWAY... I really hope AOL releases a new netscape. Having AIM integrated with the browser (among other features) is actually quite nice. It would be a shame to see a browser with real potential be let go like this, and the endorsement from a major corporation like AOL is exactly what Mozilla/Firefox needs. Maybe this would actually send a message to MS that it's time to do something about the aging IE. I mean, really... has IE seen any enhancements since the release of XP? I would venture to guess the answer is somewhere along the lines of: "nothing to write home about."

There's still a few plugins which seem to work better with netscape than mozilla. Why I dunno, but they're out there, they're all crapppy plugins though.

And I do agree that the Netscape name carries more weight than Mozilla to alot of PC savvyless users.

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
